Back Pain Q&A in Temecula CA

What causes back pain?

You can develop back pain from any number of causes, including an injury, overuse, poor posture, or an underlying medical condition. Primarily, when the spine does not move and line up properly, regular daily activity can cause back pain.
Common back pain causes include:

• Strains and Sprains - When you use your back to lift heavy objects, you risk injury to the muscles, ligaments, or tendons that support the structure and function of your back. Moreover, anything you do repetitively such as sitting, commuting, or working at a desk, and more strains ligaments and tendons, and muscles. Strains and sprains are common causes of back pain.
• Disc Problems - Bulging and herniated discs may occur from an acute injury or the degenerative changes that affect these discs as you get older. These disc problems may irritate or compress a spinal nerve or the spinal cord, causing various types of painful symptoms, such as Sciatica.
• Structural Problems - Changes in the spine as you get older may result in structural problems that cause pain, such as spinal stenosis.
• Arthritis - Arthritis that is not treated with an approach to support the remaining healthy portion of the joint and connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves is a common cause of back pain.
• Radiculopathy - Sciatica (lumbar radiculopathy) is a common back pain condition that develops from compression of the sciatic nerve. This compression could be from the disc, the bone's misalignment, and even compression from surrounding tendons, ligaments, and muscles.

When should I seek chiropractic care for back pain?

You should seek chiropractic care for your back pain if you want treatments that focus on healing the underlying cause of your discomfort. The experts at Wine Country Chiropractic treat acute and chronic back pain.

• Acute Back Pain - Acute back pain develops from a known injury or even without reason seemingly, causing discomfort that lasts weeks and months. Getting treatment for this short-term pain may prevent your injury from turning into a chronic pain condition.

This type of pain may develop after an injury or from an underlying condition such as improper alignment and motion of the spine, inactivity causing imbalance in the body, arthritis, sciatica, or spinal stenosis.
